Good that I have alcohol near me.
I won't be polite, to balance things out.
But I don't want to be polite and offend people that can't take it, neither do I care if their fee fees are hurt. And I can guarantee you it's not only me. Doesn't mean it's always the case.
What I hear is, "I can talk shit to everybody and I don't care what they think." Well, good for you. Talk like that to all your friends and relatives all the time and soon you'll have only the alcohol. There has to be a way to conduct yourself in life and online that won't be deliberately attacking others. If you want to attack others, then they shouldn't just get offended, the should ignore you.
Lately? Oh, that explains a lot. Welcome to the internet, no one gives a fuck.
Some random girl says some stupid shit about objectifying. Go with proper rule: don't stick it in the crazy and move along.
I've never said that you should get along with the crazy, I just tried to point out the disparity between reactions to the same comment and why does it happen. And then suggested how people on the recieving end should process such a comment.
Oh? Only speaker knows the real intent? Well, if someone posts "you are a shit" then intent was pretty obvious.
Maybe I should have explain it a little more in detail, but mz mind sometimes jump ahead and I don't write it. So if someone posts "you are a shit", then the best reaction is to ignore it. You can ask why they wrote it, if you want, so they may explain themselves, but most of the time you won't get a decent response.
But yeah, let's go all Freud on this. If you see negative comments you either fucked up or they are just shitposting. Also, why did you switch constructive criticism in place of positive comments? Because right now you can have three things: Negative comment, positive and constructive criticism. Or just call it a comment.
Or it wasn't innocent tease, they though it was shit and said exactly that, jeezas...
What I meant by it is when you get comments like "This game is really bad". This can be considered as negative comment, but it also might be true, if the game is bad. The reaction to this shouldn't be emotional despair, but instead you should ask for explanation. When emotions get out of the way, you might actually get constructive criticism. But it's not a positive comment. The bit with innocent tease was just to prove my point, that you don't know the intent of the message, if it can be interpreted in multiple ways. So don't assume the worst the first second.
Simplified: If you give reaction to an action, there will be more action. 20 years of Internet and nothing changed on the matter. Kids those days can't take any shit. You slightly poke them and they loose their mind like privileged little fucks.
Simplified: No that's not true. If you don't add more fuel to the fire people won't get more aggresive towards you. So it's about being polite again, even to rude people. If the keep being rude, then just stop talking to them. But if they calm down and start talking normally, then you can figure out whatever the problem is.
Or learn about banter, throw it all out, if your friendship didn't survive this, it wasn't worth it. Most of the time you are in a pub, drinking another beer like nothing happened.
Yeah, kids, in the heat of the moment you may say something bad and then try to pedal back like a bitch so no one is upset. Let's cut out whole spectrum of emotions and turn into marshmallows so anyone can turn us into pulp with few words...
Banter is a good think, tease your friends from time to time and have food laugh about it is pure joy. There's a different between friendly chit-chat where everybody has a good time, and emotional abuse to force someone to do something they don't want to (like loosing the weight). I haven't said that you shouldn't listen to the message hidden behind the rude form. In fact I've stated that you should really think about it and only if you find out that your happy the way you are then you should say "that's enough, I won't change" Ultimatelly it's your bad decision, but others should respect it. And maybe in time you'll change your mind and thank your friends for pushing you. But the message might be "you have ugly nose, go get plastic surgery." It might be fun for first couple time, but then it'll turn into annoyance and they should stop, if they know their boundaries. If not the receiving party should politely ask them to stop.
If someone is a fat fuck and says it's fine, then that's a lazy fat fuck. Get to the fucking gym, those people care more for you than you yourself and that's actually their problem, I wouldn't even bother spending a word unless it's for fun or for a friend.
This is where your wrong. Fat people are not lazy, they don't have any self-respect. They can sacrifice their lives for other, but are unable to do something just for themselves. They are very productive when it comes to creating something that many people will benefit from, so they can put the time and effort in. They aren't lazy. Most of the time they bottle up some pain inside, whether it is reasonable or not, that's not the point. They feel it is reasonable, and only talking about the pain can help them move roward.
Changing your lifestyle is hard, if you don't have money or support, you won't make it. It's not about losing weight, it's about starting new life and that terrifies people. So they rather is in couch doing what the know then explore the unknown.
Yeah, cut out all people that don't want you to suffer, that's a great advice. Eat another fry and die before getting 40yo. Jeezas.
Again, probably haven't explained myself completely. Cut out only the people who mentally abuse you for years. If you have a friend who tells you every day "you're a shit" then what's the point of spending time with them.
Btw, why turning into personal attack? You don't know me, I'm not fat, but I like fries from time to time. I might as well say that you should get of your steroids. They make you overly aggressive and your balls ridiculously small. But in fact that's a good thing, because we don't need people like you to procreate.
Point? I will tell you what's the point: To preach and hoping to change mind of people so they won't shit on you. People won't suddenly be nice, even after years of trying to make them, they kick back hard at it. Normal conversations do happen more often than people shitting on each other, it's when some bullshit comes up all that negativity hits on like a train.
Looks like you completely missed the point. The point is that people on the receiving end shouldn't get offended in the first instance. They should think before react and I might suggest that to you too. The point is that people should ignore offensive matterial instead of trying to block it for everyone. The point is to look at th eother side, see what the see and then react.
Offence is taken is what you wanted to say.
Why would I want to say that? I don't know you. Most likely I'll never meet you in my life, so why should I get offended by you. Whatever you say won't offend me. I'll either ignore it or try find the reason behind your words. You can say whatever you want and I shouldn't command you otherwise. But I can say whatever I want too, and I think that people in general should be more polite to each other. It's not about what you say, but how you say it. But you can speak however you want, I just won't react to you if I find you annoying.
And of course, same thing, hiding your game behind "pay $5 for newest version or wait, you poorfag". Those are milking methods and only point is to do exactly that. So yeah, I love when people preach about being nice and shit, while don't mind using disgusting methods to grind money. And as I said, do it whoever you like, but keep in mind what you are doing. Everyone wants to be next EA.
Let me laugh at that. Maybe you should give your game for free, then. And don't hide it behind $1 paywall like you do. Because what is diffrerence between $5 and $1 paywall? Only your perception of what is tolerable. In fact that is exact the same bullshit like with speech. You hear something that might offend someone but not you and you find it ridiculous. On the other hand you find it outrageous to ask for $5 when asking for $1 is ok. Why are you getting upset? Because you can get your favorite candy for the change in your pocket? Don't participate in such a heinous behavior if you don't like it. But don't ask others to change, because that's the same thing as if I wanted you to change the way you talk to us. If you don't see the parallel here, then you're as blinded as the snowflakes you want me to be.
Bored of this thread, too many money grabbing snowflakes.
Thanks for interesting point of yours. Standing behind your ideas is admirable, but be prepared to receive what you give.
